FIGHT WINNER
Eduardo Ewing
Predicted: Decision (30-27, 29-28, 29-28)
59%
This prediction is made assuming the fight between Ethyn Ewing (referred to as Eduardo Ewing in the prompt, listed as 'home' fighter) and Farid Basharat were to proceed on June 20, 2026, despite recent news suggesting its cancellation. Ethyn Ewing is an unranked fighter with a 10-2 professional record and a 2-0 UFC record, known for his high striking volume (7.44 significant strikes landed per minute) and 100% takedown defense in the UFC. His ability to stuff takedowns will be crucial against Farid Basharat, who is an undefeated (15-0) and #15 ranked bantamweight with a strong grappling background and 3.34 average takedowns per 15 minutes. Ewing has also demonstrated finishing power, securing a TKO victory in his last fight, and has a history of defeating previously undefeated opponents. While Basharat's undefeated record and ranking present a significant challenge, Ewing's superior striking output and proven takedown defense in the octagon give him a slight edge in this classic striker vs. grappler matchup, likely leading to a decision victory if he can keep the fight standing.
SPREAD PREDICTION
Eduardo Ewing -2.5 Rounds (-2.5)
60%
